The Sponsor Portal

The Sponsor Portal

ALTIVOSponsor Management

This article explains what the Sponsor Portal is, what it shows, how to control which assets appear, and how to share it. Portal visitors do not need a login.

Sponsor Portal

What is the Sponsor Portal?

A public web page showing the sponsorship opportunities your school has available, with an enquiry button on each one. Anyone can visit it - no login, no account.

It is your school's shopfront for sponsorship. Instead of describing what you offer in an email, you send a link.

The Sponsor Portal is available on the Excellence plan.

What visitors see

  • Your school name and logo

  • Student count and parent count - the reach figures a sponsor cares about. Both come from My School

  • A card for each available asset: image, name, description, type, duration and price

  • An Enquire button on every card

Enquiries land in New Requests in your sidebar, with a badge showing how many are waiting.

Which fields are public - read this before writing anything

Assets have three text fields and they are not equally private:

FieldWho sees itUse it for
DescriptionEveryone. Shown on the portal cardSelling the opportunity to a sponsor
Public InfoEveryone. Additional public detailDimensions, placement, what is included
NotesOnly your school. Never leaves AltivoWhere the banner is stored, who installs it, internal reminders

Only Notes is private. Description and Public Info are both visible to anyone with the link. Put anything internal in Notes.

Which assets appear

All three must be true at once:

  1. Listed on Portal is switched on

  2. The price is above R0

  3. At least one unit is available

Unpriced assets, free assets and fully booked assets are all hidden. That is deliberate - it stops the portal advertising something a sponsor cannot actually buy.

Getting an asset onto the portal

  1. Go to Assets and edit the asset

  2. Switch on Listed on Portal

  3. Write the Description for sponsors, not for yourself

  4. Add an image. A card without a picture badly undersells what you are offering

  5. Check the price is set, then Save

Preview it by clicking Sponsor Portal in the sidebar. To take an asset down, switch the toggle off.

Sharing the link

Open Sponsor Portal in the sidebar and use the copy link button. You do not need to contact d6.

The link uses your school's name rather than an ID, so it reads sensibly when you share it - for example /portal/hoerskool-waterkloof. It is safe to put on your website, in an email signature, on social media, or in a letter to local businesses.

Frequently asked questions

I switched the asset on but it is not showing.

All three conditions must hold together: Listed on Portal is on, the price is above R0, and a unit is free. An unpriced asset will never appear no matter what else you change.

The portal is completely empty.

Nothing currently meets all three conditions. The usual cause is that assets have been created without prices. Add prices, switch on Listed on Portal, then refresh.

We negotiate prices individually. How do we show an asset without a fixed price?

Set a realistic indicative price and say so in the description - something like "from R5,000, negotiable depending on duration". A sponsor needs a number to react to, and a page full of "POA" converts badly.

Can visitors see our sponsors or our finances?

No. The portal shows only what you have chosen to list: asset names, descriptions, images, prices and the enquiry form. Your sponsor list, financial figures, allocations and internal notes are not reachable from it.

Someone enquired. What happens next?

It appears under New Requests with a badge count. Open it, and if it is genuine click Accept - Altivo creates a sponsor record from their details so you can start the conversation without retyping anything.

Our student or parent count is wrong on the portal.

Both come from My School. Update them there and the portal follows. They are worth getting right - reach is one of the first things a sponsor looks at.
